It's interesting to note how odd it is that Decepticons are taking Autobot prisoners in DOTM.
But what is most interestingly, is that Soundwave never intend on killing them. It was until Dylan lecturing him about getting respect then he chose to execute them.
Makes your wonder, what if Optimus and the Autobots brutality was the result of their training with the humans. They were less brutish and merciless in the 2007 movie. What if, like Dylan, Lennox or the NEST superior were the ones influencing the Autobots to act their brutal way. How they act, after the event of Mission City. Maybe Optimus planned to take Decepticons prisoner, but human superiors suggested otherwise. The after several killing, it becomes a bloodlust.
Look at it this way. 9 Autobots destroyed about 200 Decepticons with little effort. Optimus alone, could take on the like of Soundwave, Shockwave, Starscream and Megatron even with one arm behind his back. So how did they, with an army of Autobots, lost in Cybertron?
Clearly they learned something from the humans once they arrive here. Ironicly, they learned from humans how to be inhuman.
